Date16/09/2021DescriptionThe photograph shows a road in Horsley Park with a large date palm and power lines overhead. The palm has been cut back which reminds Romeo of a bad Covid haircut - referencing people giving each other or themselves haircuts at home while the hairdressers are closed during lockdown. PhotographerRomeo MenegazziGeolocation[1] Horsley ParkNotes"The electricity provider contractors had to trim the trees to avoid future power outages. The original Date palm tree had a full growth and looked very tropical. After this morning's trim by the contractors (barbers or hairdressers to the trees), the tree looks like a home made haircut has been made (a very bad one at that!)" - Romeo Menegazzi
